No Time Like the Present: Agentic Test-Time Training for LLM Agents

Yanbo Wang, Jinhua Hao, Yuze Shi et al.

What this work does

Updates an episode-specific adapter on agent, environment or summary text while downweighting spans repeatedly seen in earlier updates.

Connection to discovery

A baseline for learning from an evolving evidence stream without repeatedly reinforcing a stuck trajectory.

Evidence

ALFWorld and software-repair experiments compare no adaptation, static adaptation, unfiltered online updates and repetition controls, including drift diagnostics.

Scope and limitations

Token novelty is only a proxy for useful evidence. New but erroneous self-generated text can still be reinforced, and episode-specific resets differ from cross-task continual learning.
